Bushwick Junkie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was only making the move
Trying very hard to get back to you
I was only chilling in style
Make a move to kill in an awful while
I was only trying to get by
I was only trying to get high
I was only acting the part
If the rest don't take a part of it
I was only breaking my back a while
To making money to be a cat a while
I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
Before the sunrise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise
I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
I was only trying to get high
It said
I was only trying to get high
Before the sunrise at the dawn
